The 'Only In Ohio' meme trend, often paired with the phrase 'Can't Even X in Ohio,' emerged as a satirical way to depict the U.S. state of Ohio as a surreal, chaotic, or monster-infested wasteland. Building on long-running internet jokes about the state's perceived 'cursed' nature, the meme evolved into a viral sensation on TikTok and Reddit in late 2022. It typically features clips of CGI monsters, strange atmospheric anomalies, or glitchy events, suggesting that such bizarre occurrences are commonplace within Ohio's borders. The meme gained massive traction through the song 'Swag Like Ohio' by Lil B, cementing Ohio as the internet's favorite fictional dystopia where the laws of physics and normalcy simply do not apply.
